Chapter 2 Installation

This is a SSI EEB form factor (12” x 13”, 30.5 cm x 33.0 cm) motherboard. Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard fits into it.

FH-C612NM is a dual socket motherboard that supports Intel® Xeon E5-2600/4600 v3 series processors. Please install a primary processor (BootStrap Processor) into “CPU1” socket and then install a non-Primary Processor (Application Processors) into “CPU2” socket. *For a single CPU, please install it into “CPU1” socket (framed by a square).

2.1 Screw HolesPlace screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the chassis.

2.2 Pre-installation PrecautionsTake note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change any motherboard settings.1. Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any components.2. To avoid damaging the motherboard’s components due to static electricity, NEVER

place your motherboard directly on the carpet or the like. Also remember to use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safety grounded object before you handle the compo-nents.

3. Hold components by the edges and do not touch the ICs. 4. Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded anti-static pad or in

the bag that comes with the component.5. When placing screws into the screw holes to secure the motherboard to the chassis,

please do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.

Make sure to unplug the power cord before installing or removing the motherboard. Failure to do so may cause physical injuries to you and damages to motherboard components.

Do not over-tighten the screws! Doing so may damage the motherboard.

Before you install or remove any component, ensure that the power is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.

BIOS 2 (BU1_B)

This motherboard has two BIOS onboard, a main BIOS (BU1_A) and a backup BIOS (BU1_B), which enhances protection for the safety and stability of your system. Normally, the system works on the main BIOS. However, if the main BIOS is corrupted or damaged, please use a jumper cap to short pin2 and pin3, then the backup BIOS will take over on the next system boot. After that, then use “Secure Backup UEFI“ in BIOS setup utility to copy the BIOS file to the main BIOS to ensure normal system operation. For the sake of system safety, users cannot update the backup BIOS manually. Users may refer to the BIOS LED (BIOS_A_LED or BIOS_B_LED) to identify which BIOS is activated currently.

2.11 Dual LAN and Teaming Operation GuideDual LAN with Teaming enabled on this motherboard allows two single connections to act as one single connection for twice the transmission bandwidth, making data transmission more effective and improving the quality of transmission of distant images. Fault tolerance on the dual LAN network prevents network downtime by transferring the workload from a failed port to a working port.

Before setting up Teaming, please make sure whether your Switch (or Router) supports Teaming (IEEE 802.3ad Link Aggregation). You can specify a preferred adapter in Intel PROSet. Under normal conditions, the Primary adapter handles all non-TCP/IP traffic. The Secondary adapter will receive fallback traffic if the primary fails. If the Preferred Primary adapter fails, but is later restored to an active status, control is automatically switched back to the Preferred Primary adapter.

Step 1

From Device Manager, open the properties of a team.

Step 2

Click the Settings tab.

Step 3

Click the Modify Team button.

Step 4

Select the adapter you want to be the primary adapter and click the Set Primary button.

If you do not specify a preferred primary adapter, the software will choose an adapter of the highest capability (model and speed) to act as the default primary. If a failover occurs, another adapter becomes the primary. The adapter will, however, rejoin the team as a non-primary.

The speed of transmission is subject to the actual network environment or status even with Teaming enabled.
